Why repair rather than replace?

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Noranside use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What else we do in Noranside
What affects the price in Noranside
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire basin
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price.
FAQs for Noranside
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
